Happy International Day of Friendship! ✨🌍

Friendship is more than just fun times—it’s about support, understanding, and mental health too. In a world full of challenges, having friends to lean on can make all the difference. Let’s take this day to check in on our friends, spread positivity, and remind each other that we’re not alone.

Tag your friends and let them know how much they mean to you!

Getting the right amount of quality sleep can give you more energy, improve concentration, make you less likely to crave snacks that aren’t nutritious, and you guessed it, keep a healthy headspace.

If you’re having a tough time, sleeping can be one of the first things that’s affected. Have you noticed when you get good quality sleep it’s often easier to manage your emotions? This can help you deal with any stress, including relationships, and work and study difficulties. It can also help reduce the risk of mental health challenges in the future.

For many people, quality sleep can be hard to get, so don’t be too tough on yourself as you try different things. You’ll get there... you’re learning. Be kind to yourself.

If you or someone you know is going through a tough time you can get help and support from headspace, your school, TAFE or university wellbeing service or your local health provider.

This National NAIDOC week , headspace Glenroy supports the theme of 2024 - "Keep the fire Burning! Blak, Loud and Proud".

This year's theme celebrates the unyielding spirit of our communities and invites all to stand in solidarity, amplifying the voices that have long been silenced.

The fire represents the enduring strength and vitality of Indigenous cultures, passed down through generations despite the challenges faced. It is a symbol of connection to the land, to each other, and to the rich tapestry of traditions that define Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. As we honour this flame, we kindle the sparks of pride and unity, igniting a renewed commitment to acknowledging, preserving, and sharing the cultural heritage that enriches our nation.

“Blak, Loud and Proud" encapsulates the unapologetic celebration of Indigenous identity, empowering us to stand tall in our heritage and assert our place in the modern world. This theme calls for a reclamation of narratives, an amplification of voices, and an unwavering commitment to justice and equality. It invites all Australians to listen, learn, and engage in meaningful dialogue, fostering a society where the wisdom and contributions of Indigenous peoples are fully valued and respected.
Through our collective efforts, we can forge a future where the stories, traditions, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities are cherished and celebrated, enriching the fabric of the nation with the oldest living culture in the world.

Always Was, Always Will Be, Aboriginal Land! ✊🏽🔥🖤💚🧡

IDAHOBIT, held every year on May 17, is a day to raise awareness for the high rates of discrimination LGBTQIA+ people still face today.

Homophobia and transphobia are still heavily experienced by people around us, with brown, black, and indigenous people experiencing it at even higher rates. This is important to acknowledge when working with intersectional and diverse young people and families, and amongst your peers and coworkers.
